About the Item

Evoking the grandeur of European railway stations and bell towers, this antique French industrial clock face features a bold openwork design with elegantly cut Roman numerals encased within dual concentric rings. Likely originating from a provincial town hall or train depot in France circa early 20th century, the piece is hand-cut from iron or steel with a beautifully aged patina, showcasing traces of oxidization and surface weathering consistent with decades of exposure to the elements. The serifed numerals are finely proportioned, reflecting the refined aesthetics typical of early French industrial craftsmanship. No longer functioning as a timepiece, this sculptural remnant now serves as a powerful piece of architectural wall art—ideal for lofts, gallery walls, or interior spaces blending history with industrial edge. A rare and authentic decorative artifact with timeless character. Would handle a piece of mirror and make a handsome mirror.
